With . the congressional convention
for the Tenth district at Waynesville
only four days hence, speculation as
to the possible outcome is more In
tense today than ever before, and a
great deal of this speculation Is basud
on the possible effect on the conven
tion of the action taken here by tht
Buncombe county convention Satur

cast In Asheville for Robert R. Ray
nolds and the subsequent stronir reeo
lutlon adopted condemning the regis.
terlng and voting of negroes and re
publicans in democratic primaries.

mittee which investigated the contest
over the negro votes. Introduced by

that the democratic registration bonks

Following tha unanlmeua adoption
of this report by the convention, a res

the practice followed by some candi

waa adopted by acclamation. This
resolution follows!
Whereas. U baa been publicly
flhamd In tha newspapers, and there
has bean no denial of tha same, that at
the recant demooratlo primary nein in

Rev. J. S. Lyons.
MORE INTEREST IN

More Aggressive Part in In
dustrial Life Also Favored
In Report to Presby
terian Church.
Kansas City, May 25j "For some
years the churches have labored with
the souls of men, forgetting that they
had bodies. Now coincident with the
movement In all public Instructions to
get Into a more Intimate relation with
the lives of the people they deal with,
the churches have re-disoovered hu
man nature.
This statement was made to the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States (South
ern 1 In session heer today by Rev. J.
B. Lyons of Louisville, Ky as a pre
face to the report of the Joint com
mittee of the Presbyterian bodies In
the United States appointed to pre
pare a united declaration on Christian
faith and Christian service.
The report urged that the churches
take a more aggressive part in the
social and industrial life of the com
munity. "We believe that the church is not
only the appointed means of salvation
from eternal death," the report says,
but that witli the state and the fnmily
she has a distinctive work in bettering
the soolal relations of men in this
world.
"The vast increase of wealth and Its
nnequal and often unjust distribution;
the development of. great Dusinesa
corporations which "flistliafge mtjT)r
the functions once belonging to 'he
individuals, and aa the result of this
the weakening of the sense of Individ
ual responsibility for social wrongs;
the fostering of .vice as an Instrument
to private gain, and the submergence
of the lower classes In Ignorance and
poverty all are reasons why the
church should apply those principles
and quicken those motives which a.e
essential to all true and lastlr.s re
form.
"It Is the duty of Christian citizens
to observe those principles of our re
ligion which require that every man
shall do his full share of the world's
work, which oppose Injustice and tyr
anny even when they are entrenched
in the usacea of our civilization. We
should endeavor to lead men In a self

The prescnoe here of Jose Requenu
and other intimate friends of General;
Felix Diaz attracted some attention.)
Although they were not believed to bo.
seeking audiences with the mediators,'
their conferences with tha Huerta del-,
egates spread "tha belief that they
were seeking Information as to thi
persons who would be suggested lor
the new provisional government that ,
is to succeed the Huerta regime.
